IPC: H04N7/16
Filed: 1992-07-08
Abstract: A video recorder system 10 adapted to receive subscription television services is of the type which controls access to the subscription services by means of a smart card 26. Where payment is duo for each programme received, the viewer is required to make a positive affirmation of purchase by pressing an affirmation button 30 as the programme is received. To enable reception in the absence of the viewer by use of the programmes 32, the programmer is provided with means actuable by the viewer when a programmer is being set into the programmer. An indication of whether an affirmation of payment is associated with the programme to be recorded is stored in the programmer. and when the programme to be recorded is received automatically authorises the descrambler control circuit 22 which charges the card 26 and enables the descrambler 16 as though the affirmation button had been pressed. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An invertor (4) which is connected to a DC source (3) supplies a discharge lamp (11) via an inductor (17) which is connected in series with the discharge lamp (11). A first capacitor (18) is arranged in parallel with the discharge lamp (11). A second capacitor (19), which is connected via a diode (20) to a neutral line (0), is furthermore connected in parallel with the parallel circuit formed by the discharge lamp (11) and the capacitor (18). When a positive current is flowing, a positive voltage is produced from the diode (20), which voltage is stored via a further diode (22) in a storage capacitor (23) which is connected to a control circuit for the invertor (4). Once the voltage on the storage capacitor (23) has reached a desired value, a zener diode 33 and two transistors (29, 30) short-circuit the diode (20) which is connected to the neutral line (0). When a negative current is flowing, the current passes via this diode (20) directly to the neutral line (0). In consequence, unnecessary losses are avoided. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In order to subsample a filter input sequence of oversampled data at a predetermined subsampling ratio into a filter output sequence of eventually subsampled data, a subsampling filter comprises a data holding arrangement (23(1), 23(2)) for producing three successive data of the oversampled data as each of output patterns of a first output sequence. An input-stage filter (25) subsamples the first output sequence at a subsampling ratio of one by two into a second output sequence of intermediately subsampled data. An output-stage filter (15, 19, 21, 41, 43, 45) subsamples the second output sequence into the filter output sequence. Typically, each of the intermediately subsampled data has one of five values 0, plus 1, minus 1, plus 2, and minus 2. The output-stage filter may comprise a memory arrangement (15) for memorizing filter coeffficients determined by a transfer function of this filter, a scaler (41) for calculating products of the filter coefficients and the intermediately subsampled data, and a summing arrangement (43) for calculating an algebraic sum of each product and an intermediate sum which is an accumulated sum fed back from a register device (19) for memorizing the algebraic sum as such an accumulated sum.

Abstract: In the driving circuit for a display apparatus a charging circuit applies a voltage equal to or higher than the highest positive gradation (V₃) to each data line for a predetermined period of time before the start of a period for applying a positive gradation voltage (+V₀, +V₁ +V₂ +V₃), After that, a positive gradation voltage in accordance with data is applied to each data line. Then, a period for the applying a negative gradation voltage (-V₀, -V₁, -V₂, -V₃) is started, when a negative gradation voltage in accordance with data is applied to each data line, Accordingly, after being charged with a voltage applied by the charging circuit at the beginning of each cycle of the AC driving, each data line is applied with an equal or lower gradation voltage. Alternatively, a discharging circuit first applies a voltage equal to or lower than the lowest negative gradation voltage to each data line for a predetermined period of time before the start of a period for applying a negative gradation voltage. After that, a negative gradation voltage in accordance with data is applied to each data line. Then, a period for applying a positive gradation voltage is started, when a positive gradation voltage in accordance with data is applied to each data line. Accordingly, after being discharged with a voltage applied by the discharging circuit at the beginning of each cycle of the AC driving, each data line is applied with an equal or higher gradation voltage.

Abstract: A system and a method in which channel independent linear transfer functions or calibration curves for color devices such as printers, scanners and displays are individually created using a low cost a light intensity sensor. Scaling constants are determined and desired linear aim response curves are scaled together to maintain a desired color balance. The color saturation effects are also removed by scaling or normalizing to some maximum input drive level that does not saturate any of the colors. The characterization curves are rotated about the desired linear aim response curves to create compensation curves for each the characterization curves adapted to the particular device response characteristics. The dynamic range maximized, linearized, color balanced and saturation compensation curves are loaded into conversion tables which convert input values into the appropriate output values.
